Abstract

See full text

A string instrument tailpiece may include a lever including a tailcord. The string instrument tailpiece may also include a base coupled to the lever along a pivot axis such that the lever is pivotable about the pivot axis. The tailcord may engage an endpin of a string instrument. The tailcord may be under an engaged-tension when the lever is in an engaged position and a release-tension when the lever is in a release position. The engaged-tension may be greater than the release-tension. The tailcord may also be disengageable from the endpin when under the release-tension.
